jujuruṣo nāsatyota vavriṃ prāmuñcataṃ drāpimiva cyavānāt prātirataṃ jahitasyāyurdasrāditpatimakṛṇutaṃ kanīnām
Neither yielding nor false, Nāsatya released the strength that came from Chyavān like Draupī; he put to flight the hostile life and made the lord possess the kine.
Nāsatyas, you stripped off from the aged Cyavana his entire skin, as if it had been a coat of mail; you reversed, Dasras, the life of the sage who was without kindred, and constituted him the husband of many maidens.
Ye from the old Cyavana, O Nasatyas, stripped, as 'twere mail, the skin upon his body, Lengthened his life when all had left him helpless, Dasras! and made him lord of youthful maidens.
